Happy Monday, everyone!
The doors of the Bevic Convention Center closed on DefenseCon 2956 last week. Thanks to everyone who joined in, whether in-game, at a Bar Citizen, or on Twitch. You helped make it the largest DefenseCon to date and set a new all-time in-game concurrency record for the project.
Last week, we also shared an update on some of the issues you've been experiencing in Alpha 4.8. Since then, we've deployed a number of hotfixes addressing docking failures at certain stations, ship claim and Starmap issues, missing pledge items, and more.
Teams are continuing to work through your reports, with additional fixes currently in testing. Every report helps us track issues down and get fixes moving faster, and we genuinely appreciate all of you who have taken the time to contribute through the Issue Council and Spectrum.
Looking ahead, we've got a couple of maintenance windows planned this week, covering both bug fixes and new additions.
First up, both the RSI Platform and the Star Citizen Live Service will enter maintenance tomorrow, June 2, starting at 08:15 UTC. Matchmaking will be disabled at that time to allow players to safely exit the environment ahead of RSI Platform maintenance beginning at 09:00 UTC. This downtime is not expected to exceed four hours. We will provide updates on the RSI Status Page as the maintenance progresses.
We're also targeting a Live Service maintenance window on Wednesday, June 3, to deploy Alpha 4.8.1. The update currently includes more than 30 fixes and additions, with more to follow. Keep an eye on Spectrum for more information soon!
While work on improvements continues, we’re also kicking off June with a splash of color and inviting you to show us yours for a chance to take home some loot.
June also marks the approach of Alien Week, with more details as we get closer. It also means that International Bar Citizen Weekend is right around the corner. For many of us on the team, it's something we look forward to every year. It's a chance to connect with all of you, put faces to handles, and hear your stories firsthand. We’ll be hosting events near each of our studios around the globe, with more details available on Spectrum, and we hope to see many of you there.
Speaking of Bar Citizens, several members of the team had the chance to attend the Netherlands Bar Citizen last Friday alongside TwitchCon Rotterdam. A huge thank you to the organizers for bringing it all together, and to everyone who took the time to come out and spend the evening with us! It was a fantastic event, and we loved having the chance to spend time with so many of you in person.

Now, let's see what's going on this week:
This Tuesday, a scheduled maintenance will cause downtime across multiple Platform systems. The maintenance will begin at 08:15 UTC and is expected not to exceed 4 hours. During this timeframe, the Website, Spectrum, the Game Launcher, and the Issue Council will be unavailable.
This maintenance will impact:
- All RSI Website services
- All gameplay systems
- Launcher operations
- Issue Council
Tuesday also brings the June Subscriber Comm-Link & Newsletter.
On Wednesday, we're aiming to release Alpha 4.8.1 to the live servers, bringing another round of fixes and updates, along with a range of new contracts. We're also targeting a Live Service Maintenance window; more details as we get closer to the day.
The Roadmap Update and Roadmap Roundup will also be published, alongside the May PU Monthly Report.
Friday rounds out the week with the RSI Weekly Newsletter landing in your inbox.
Fly low, and fly fast!

Happy Tuesday y'all!
We hope those of you coming off the holiday weekend had a great one.
Before we jump into the week ahead, we want to acknowledge some of the issues many of you have been reporting in Alpha 4.8, including those related to contracts, the Starmap, ships, services, and more.
Over the last several days, the team has been actively tracking and working through these reports, with a number of fixes already progressing through testing and validation alongside additional hotfixes planned. We’re eager to get more of these fixes into your hands as quickly as possible, and we’ll continue sharing updates and rollout information on Spectrum as things progress.
We also want to thank everyone who has continued contributing reports and reproduction steps on the Issue Council, as that visibility continues helping the team identify and prioritize issues as quickly as possible.
Now, onto last week.
DefenseCon 2956 kept things moving with a steady stream of reveals and updates. On Monday, the MISC Starlite hit the 'verse and opened the door to the refueling profession for a whole new crowd. Wednesday then brought the Aegis Tiburon straight to flyable, and the community wasted no time putting it through its paces. Head over to the Q&A for all the details on both ships.
DefenseCon debuts kept coming, as this past Sunday saw the reveal of the Anvil Odin, the massive battlecruiser currently looming over Area18. The reveal sparked a lot of questions from the community, and we hosted a dedicated Star Citizen Live Q&A focused entirely on the Odin. Catch it now on YouTube.
We also kicked off the Free Fly, giving rookie pilots a chance to jump in. As a reminder, the Referral Bonus is still active: if you refer a player, you'll earn a Drake Dragonfly with Coalfire paint, while the player you referred will receive a DefenseCon Gear Pack.
Twitch Drops are also live! Watch any Drops Enabled Star Citizen stream for four hours to earn the Tailwind Murray Cup Set, which includes a helmet and flight suit. Just make sure your Twitch and RSI accounts are linked before tuning in.
Last but not least, the Everyday Heroes contest is in its final stretch. Show us an act of heroism, grit, or selflessness in the 'verse and post your screenshot to the Community Hub before entries close May 27 at 20:00 UTC for a chance to win a Tobii Eye Tracker 5 and some of DefenseCon's newest ships.
Here's what's ahead this week:
On Tuesday, DefenseCon enters the finale and it is going out strong. Every manufacturer has returned to the show floor for the final two days. One last chance to get in on every ship, every rental, every weapon, everything DefenseCon 2956 has to offer. Everything wraps up May 27 so if you have not made it to the Bevic Convention Center yet, you still have time.
Friday brings the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter straight to your inbox. If you are not already signed up, you can do that in your account settings.
The Bar Citizen world tour also continues on Friday. Join Sandi Roberts and Jarad Huckaby, along with our very own Freyja Vanadis from the Community Team, as they head to TwitchCon Rotterdam! Check out more details on this stop, as well as future stops on our Bar Citizen World Tour schedule.
On Saturday, the ATMO esports Gravity Rush tournament is back with Groups 3 and 4. The competition has been heating up, and this is your chance to see who punches their ticket to the Semi-finals and Finals in June. Races kick off at 18:00 UTC. Check out all the details here.
Tip of the hat, see you in the 'verse!

Hello everyone!
Every two weeks, we accompany the Roadmap update with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an effort to make our communications more transparent, more specific, and more insightful for all of you who help to make Star Citizen and Squadron 42 possible.
Just a reminder: The 1.0 column showcases features and content planned for inclusion in or before Star Citizen 1.0. This means you may not have to wait for the 1.0 release to experience them. As features/content in the 1.0 column become ready, they will migrate left into a point patch column for release.
Be sure to check back every two weeks for the latest updates.
With that, let’s dive into this week’s Roadmap Roundup!
